Hugo Minnesota tornado May 25th 2008 part 2

video from just moments after the tornado, you can hear the rescue sirens in the backround but the streets where blocked in some places and it took a couple of minutes to get through. Then twenty minutes later the hail came just as the rescuers where out in the open helping people.

Yes, our lot in Hugo is for sale. We did not know of anywhere that would rent for 3 dogs and 3 cats where we could live until our home was rebuilt. We had built a home in Seattle, and knew that it would take a year. We had a place to stay, at my mother in law, but the dogs were getting sick with stress and not enough room to roam. So, a rebuild in Hugo was not possible unless we get rid of the pets. No way! We live in Scandia now, and are happy here, though of course miss Hugo. No choice!

Good luck I hope your move to Seattle goes good and you sell your lot in hugo

Just me again. Looking for some good footage for my friend. My house is right at 5 seconds, where the man yells "is this your house", then at 34 seconds, 58 seconds, then close up of my house to 109 seconds. I was on 159th and my home was entirely destroyed. I was probably still in the basement when this video was taken. Yes, someone did get killed. I feel quite lucky that I was not killed as the tornado hit only about a minute after I ran to the basement. My horizontal trees made me run.

I'm sorry to see your not rebuilding your house. I think it was you I used to see in the backyard playin with your dogs. I may post a new video showing the rebuilding, it finally looks normal again

When the tornado happend i was outisde amd when it started to hail i was i the car .

[Feared01]

this tornado literally jumped over Lino Lakes (our house - off birch). we were in the basement and my mom was upstairs. she came down after she heard the "train" sound that so many people talk about. right after she got downstairs it started hailing those golf balls and we watched out the window until a big one hit the window and we were afraid the window would break. we were lucky, though, because the hail broke other people's windows. i felt terrible for the people over in hugo...

@Torn80cj day and it was a nice sunny day then there where these Black clouds and then it came over a bunch of us just watching and you could see the clouds just starting to twirl around but nuthing could land cause of all the houses and Buildings around the area then this big gust of Cold Air hit us then the rain nailed us that was nice but the wind was crazy thow almost blowed me over lol

[mazdaman1982]

@Torn80cj ya lol its Tornado season already and we had lots already in the past month or 2 , yesterday around 5:30pm there was a Tornado that touched down just out side Carman Manitoba thats about 30 mins south west of winnipeg , i will try and see if some one posted some thing already ,but ya that F5 Tornado i was about 25 30 mins away i remember that, but just about a month ago we had this crazy system that came right across the city, i was at work locking up after a long

[Torn80cj]

@mazdaman1982 I know which one you're talking about. It was first rated an F4, but after surveying the damage some more, it was upgraded to F5. Especially at the point where it tossed that house and a GM van so easily. It was one of the most amazing looking tornadoes I have seen on video. Best ones I have filmed myself are the Jericho Texas and Wakita Oklahoma tornadoes. I still would like to see one like the Elie Manitoba tornado, but not hitting anyones house.
